The film industry has been difficult to do in the past few years. Without building relationships and adding some positive energy, the screenings will be poor, let alone the box office.
In this environment, when Einstein came, he had to offer tea to the leader before being assigned to the laboratory. Messi had to bring gifts to the coach before he could sit on the bench...
Therefore, after Old Monster Xu heard the news, it was natural that he would take his people there to greet him and toast him.
It would be okay if he didn't know that Director Wu was here. Now that he knew it, he had to get over it. People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows what Director Wu has in mind. Would he tell the big bosses in the imperial capital about his weird thoughts of Mr. Xu?
But if it doesn’t matter...
It's quite ironic. A film maker is not afraid of being accused of poor shooting techniques or poor camera operation. Instead, he is worried of being accused of poor thinking...
Therefore, Old Monster Xu could only say to Qi Yingyi: "Mr. Qi, you eat first, I have to take everyone over to toast to the great director from the imperial capital."
Qi Dingping asked: "Which great director?"
"Director Wu Hui, I met some big guys in the imperial capital, so it's hard to offend him." Old Monster Xu smiled awkwardly.
"Oh... is that the director who gave me an ideological and moral lesson when I went to the cinema to watch a movie?" Qi Dangxian couldn't help but wonder.
"Haha." Old Monster Xu could only laugh awkwardly after hearing this. It was difficult to comment. After all, if a few words were leaked, he would not be able to survive.
Qi Dangxian smiled lightly and didn't care too much, saying: "Then you go, Miss Yang and I will wait here for you to come back."
Old Monster Xu thanked him profusely, and then took his creative team to the next door to have a toast with Director Wu from the Imperial Capital.
"Hahaha, Director Wu, Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to see you here in Jingdao!" As soon as Mr. Xu saw Wu Hui, he laughed and went up to shake hands with a smile.
Wu Hui also had a few friends here. When he saw Old Monster Xu, he stood up pretending to be a man and said, "Isn't this Director Xu? I haven't seen him for a long time..."
Old Monster Xu asked someone to bring him a wine glass and said, "Why did Director Wu come to Jingdao? Could it be that he is planning to shoot a movie here?"
Wu Hui smiled and said: "Where? I'm just here with these friends from the Imperial City to have fun. Jingdao is very lively recently. There's some kind of World Gambling Championship going on... Let's play cards and take a look at this.
Competition."
Mr. Xu said: "Welcome, welcome, I will be your host another day and invite you all to eat and drink together."
Several of Wu Hui's friends just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously. Obviously, they were all people with backgrounds.
"Come on, come here and toast to Director Wu! Director Wu is a popular director. If he wants to make a blockbuster movie, the first thing that comes to mind is Director Wu. If you build a good relationship with Director Wu, you can also get involved in these blockbusters in the future.
Here are the minor characters." Mr. Xu waved his hand and asked his creative team to come over and toast them one by one.
Of course there are big stars in Old Monster Xu's team, but when they met Wu Hui now, they were all respectful and as well-behaved as little chickens.
Wu Hui laughed heartily. When he was greeted, his lips just touched the wine glass slightly, but the other party drank the full glass of wine directly.
"Guys, I didn't lie to you, did I? My status in the entertainment industry is not low!"
"Tell me which one you like, and I'll find it for you later."
Wu Hui turned to his friends and smiled, saying such embarrassing words.
Old Monster Xu felt dissatisfied in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "Director Wu, come here, let me toast you."
Wu Hui picked up the wine glass and counted one, two, three, four, five. After counting, his face could not help but darken, and he looked at Old Monster Xu with a smile on his face.
"Old Xu, I always thought you were an honest person!" Wu Hui laughed so hard that Mr. Xu got goosebumps.
Old Monster Xu said with a confused face: "Director Wu, don't scare me, I have always been an honest person!"
Wu Hui then smiled and said: "Haha... aren't there twenty-one of you eating here? Why are there only nineteen here? Where are the other two?"
When Old Monster Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he realized that Director Wu was not satisfied because two people didn't come over to propose a toast!
And these two people are not something he, Old Monster Xu, can control. They are the top bosses who dominate Jingdao and Xiangshan. What's more, those two are not part of the main creative team!
There was no way, Old Monster Xu could only explain: "Director Wu, you have misunderstood. Those two are my friends, not from our team, nor from this circle."
Wu Hui chuckled and said, "What you said is even more dishonest. If you can have dinner with a famous director like you and so many star actors, how can you not be in the same circle?"
These words made Old Monster Xu speechless. He could only scratch his head and say: "Director Wu, it's really not..."
"No, I can't come over to toast? Is it that I, Wu, don't have enough face? Am I not worthy of letting them toast?!" Wu Hui's face suddenly darkened before he could finish his words, and he asked gloomily.
.
Seeing Wu Hui's sudden change of expression, the creative team of Mr. Xu couldn't help but trembled and backed away, for fear of being implicated.
Several of Wu Hui's friends were chatting and laughing, and seemed not to take this matter to heart at all. They even said to you and me that Director Wu was nothing more than this, and how dare anyone know that he was here.
Those who came to toast, that reputation was obviously blown away!
Wu Hui's words naturally made Wu Hui a little unhappy. In addition, two people did not come over to toast, which even made him feel embarrassed in front of several friends.
Mr. Xu said: "Director Wu... this matter is really difficult to handle... He is not in the same circle as us, so I can't ask him to come and toast you!"
Wu Hui sneered and said: "Oh? In that case, how about you take me to visit in person? I'll toast them!"
Old Monster Xu's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he was in a dilemma.
He really didn't dare to offend Wu Hui. After all, he had a very good relationship with the big boss in charge of film and television, and from time to time, he would make two officially assigned blockbusters, which was very popular with his superiors. If he offended this person
, it’s open to question whether movies with his own name in the future can be scheduled in the mainland...
No matter how bad it is, if someone says hello, then the higher-ups will ask him to delete it like crazy, and no matter how good the movie is, it will turn into a super bad movie.
"Hmph... You know that I, Mr. Wu, am here, but you dare not come over to curry favor or offer a toast. You are really shameless!"
Wu Hui casually threw away the wine glass, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and said to Old Monster Xu: "Go and ask them to come over to toast. If they don't come, your film will be dead! I said so!"
Several of Wu Hui's friends also laughed and started talking——
"Director Xu, Director Wu is right. We have some connections in the imperial capital. If you don't give him face, you won't give us face..."
"My uncle happens to be the deputy director of the film and television department. Haha, Director Xu, can we handle it?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the main creators on the scene suddenly turned pale, and they also felt very aggrieved.
